It's all about making friends and being a good friend!
The teen years can be tricky -- especially if you are a girl. Let's face it, teen girls deal with pressures and dilemmas that teen boys couldn't even dream of, let alone handle! In How to Win Friends and Influence People for Teen Girls, Donna Dale Carnegie, daughter of the late motivational author and teacher Dale Carnegie, brings her father's time-tested, invaluable lessons to the newest generation of young women on their way to becoming savvy, self-assured friends and leaders.
How to Win Friends and Influence People for Teen Girls offers concrete advice on teen topics such as peer pressure, gossip, and popularity. Teen girls will learn the most powerful ways to influence others, defuse arguments, admit mistakes, and make self-defining choices. The Carnegie techniques promote clear and constructive communication, praise rather than criticism, emotional sensitivity, tolerance, and a positive attitude -- important skills for every girl to develop at an early age. Of course, no book for teen girls would be complete without taking a look at how to maintain friendships with boys and deal with commitment issues and break-ups with boyfriends. Carnegie also provides solid advice for older teens beginning to explore their influence in the adult world, such as driving and handling college interviews.
Full of fun quizzes, "reality check" sections, and true-life examples, How to Win Friends and Influence People for Teen Girls offers every teenage girl candid, insightful, and timely advice on how to influence friends in a positive manner.

Good advice for the young and old!:
This book gives good advice for REAL situations that are often encountered. The advice is good in that it encourages girls to "let it go" rather than holding a grudge, explains how to keep the peace with their parents, and is chock full of good examples. The advice is geared more towards teen situations (or tweens) but is good advice to anyone!
Ok wow...:
How come none of the reviewers noted that most of the advice in this book is completely obvious and basic? Most people should already know this stuff: be a good listener, don't complain, don't act fake, etc. This guide is only for the teen that is clueless on how to act. I'm a fifteen year old, and this guide has not helped me any. Save your money.
School Library Journal Seems to want the book to be something it is not.:
Of course, I did not read this particular book but I did read the original "How to Win Friends and Influence People" title, and neither purport to solve the *social* issues that the School Library Journal reviewer would have liked. It's a shame we cannot give our teens a guide and send them off to the library - we've got 'better' things to do like watch CSI or American Idol, right? God forbit we get off our butts and parent our children on social drinking, date rape, etc. Let's leave that to the shrink... more info
A must for Teen Gals!:
Childhood ends at the age of 13 and it's when problems start coming in. Friendship quarrels, parent-daughter fights, even boy problem. This books deals with any problems a girl gets in her teenhood. Being a teen is not easy, especially when you're a girl. I'm 15 and am studying in a girls school. You won't believe the amount of backfighting girls get in a year. You don't even know who's your friend anymore. Discrimination takes place on nerds and geeks. Mother-daughter trouble (it's funny why only... more info
